What’s the first chocolate that you reach for in a box?

Assuming that you like chocolates.

I love most but I’ll usually go for the fruit or mint creams and the Turkish Delight.

What’s your favourite?

Caramel, then truffle, then nutty. Coffee, fruit or booze in chocolate is an abomination quite frankly and I'd rather eat broccoli.

Alainlechat · 24/03/2024 13:49

Toffee/hard caramel

MotherOfVizslas · 24/03/2024 13:52

The fudge. I suck it so it melts in my mouth and lasts ages 😋

Interested in this thread?

Used to be hard caramel but due to ageing teeth and the price of dentists it's the fudge 😪

theduchessofspork · 24/03/2024 14:00

Praline
truffle
Nut brittle
caramel

We should be chocolate box partners, you little weirdo you

Coffee creams, followed by fruit creams. Thank you for the reminder that I have a big box of Audrey's filled with these that I'd forgotten about! Sunday afternoon sorted

Giggorata · 24/03/2024 14:04

Soft centres: orange, lemon, violet, rose, coffee and lime.
No favourites out of these, really.
Orange seems to be in every brand and violet only in a few.

MissingMoominMamma · 24/03/2024 14:06

DH only buys me boxes of rose and violet creams now ☺️.

My least favourite in other boxes would be runny caramel in milk chocolate. It’s just too sweet.

Cuppachuchu · 24/03/2024 14:09

Anything caramel, then truffle, then nuts. I don't like the fruit creams. Rum truffles are my faves.

LauderSyme · 24/03/2024 14:12

Caramel - either soft, hard or salted - is my absolute favourite, but if there are any white chocolate ones in the box, they're next!

I saw fancy bars of salted caramel white chocolate in a deli recently and had to walk away in a hurry before I bought and wolfed them all.

BlazesBoylansHat · 24/03/2024 14:17

Strawberry, orange, Turkish delight, coffee creams if standard types of chocolates. Then the toffee / caramel ones next. Pistachio, vanilla, hazelnut & rose cream types if leonidas style. I also love sea salt in chocolate
My very leat favorite type is truffle so I'd leave them to last & probably not eat them at all.

This thread is making me yearn for ye olden days when Black Magic and Terrys All Gold were still good. Chartreuse cream, anyone?

🤮the ones I bin!!

notanothernana · 24/03/2024 14:23

Fudge, praline, coffee, toffee, nuts.

KeepingItUnderTheRadar · 24/03/2024 14:24

Praline.

Justleaveitblankthen · 24/03/2024 14:25

Another one for Coffee.
Failing that, anything I which the chocolate is practically black and hard/crunchy/nutty pralines..
Pretty much everything I hated as a child 😂

BobnLen · 24/03/2024 14:27

Something truffley and creamy with white chocolate, Those white chocolate Leonidas are a good example

CornishTiger · 24/03/2024 14:30

C1N1C · 24/03/2024 13:28

It depends if I like the person I'm sharing them with. If I do, I'd start with the least liked (e.g. fudge) so they get some good ones. If I am indifferent, I go for the pralines and caramels.

If I'm at work, and there are the standard Roses etc, I go for caramel/nut ones, even though I prefer the creams, because the creams always get left to last and then I get twice as much.

Strategy :)

Winning!

fluffycloudalert · 24/03/2024 14:31

Not a fan of the cherry ones. Everything else, I don't mind what it is, but if there's an orange one, that would probably be first.

DinnaeFashYersel · 24/03/2024 14:32

Anything with nuts

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 24/03/2024 14:32

Two pages and no one has said raspberry?? More for me

CornishTiger · 24/03/2024 14:32

skilpadde · 24/03/2024 13:25

I always work through a box from the chocolate I expect to like least to the one I expect to like most.

The one I save for last would probably be some kind of cherry liqueur and gooey caramel choc.

@skilpadde I suppose this only works if you know someone isn’t going to come along and ruin if for you!

Blondiney · 24/03/2024 14:32

Back off bitches, the orange cream is MINE!

MrsALambert · 24/03/2024 14:34

Coconut. Luckily no one ever wants to fight me for it.

Followed by cherry, Turkish delight, marzipan, fudge, caramel

then everything else. Orange and coffee left until last.

I took my 91 year old mum some Black Magic yesterday. Still available from Tesco Asda and Morrisons.

I made sure I got both coffee creams on the top layer so I guess that must be my favourite!
